[im] The Museum of Broken Relationships

[János Sugár]

The Museum of Broken Relationships explores broken love and other 
human relationships - what they mean to us, what they tell us about 
what we share and how we can learn and grow from them.  It is 
composed of objects donated anonymously by members of the public from 
all over the world.  Each exhibit is an object (some of them 
ordinary, some of them extraordinary) and a story, which together 
recount a watershed event in someone's life.

The Museum's concept was born when an artist ex-couple in the midst 
of their own breakup wondered what people did with objects that had 
been meaningful in their relationships.  In 2006 they had their first 
exhibit and the Museum has since toured internationally, amassing an 
amazing collection. They opened their permanent museum in Zagreb, 
Croatia in 2010.
In 2016, John B. Quinn founded the Museum in Los Angeles, a city of 
dreams - many realized and many not - which often leave broken 
relationships in their wake.
